Inspired by a discussion with @RebeccasFarm ... I was just taking a trip down memory lane. When I was a pre-teen, teen, and even up into my young adult years I was avidly into pen pals. At one time I had 80. Postage got quite...

Someone asked me from one of the pen pal groups I belong to on FB if I had any Friendship books. I did, and had some to make as well, so I'm sending the lady a bunch today. Friendship books are papers stapled together,...

Winona Morris @nonersays (3344) • United States 16 Aug 16

Does anyone still write real letters to pen-pals? For a long time in the 90s I wrote several people. Over time they all stopped answering my letters, and now I don't have any pen-pals left. I found most of my pen-pals through...

My son is very nervous of strangers

ShannyBananny @shaggin (74987) • United States 19 Nov 15

My son is very nervous of strangers. I never taught him to be that way. Cautious yes but not as nervous as he is! If a stranger talks to him he usually won't answer them even when I am with him and tell him it is okay to respond....

Do you have pen pals, if so what are the circumstances of boundaries? Like a different state, country, prison or situations that make an interesting story.
